I watched recently, a documentary on Netflix titled Happy. The filmcovered different cultures across the globe, discovering what it was specifically, that was making people so happy. Following some original untouched societies such as The Bushmen, or more contemporary living styles in Denmark, the most important aspect in true happiness was found to be Flow.
The documentary implies Flow as a direct channel into contenment. However, to be content, the I must be able to recognize gifts in each moment, beyond the eyes. I believe Flow is only found in the presence of gratitude; ergo gratitude itself, is created and transmuted into happiness.
When water molecules course through a river, they flow with the rhythm and tides already happening within the current. Same goes for the way our bodies regenerate and take care of themselves, all pieces play a role and follow universal flow. The difference found in The Flow of humanity is that consciousness becomes a variable in the outcome of created happiness. The ability we have to imagine beyond the present moment, and interact with something more “desirable,” causes flow to diminish in any situation. It’s flirting with gratitude that makes the soul happy.
We all remember someone in our past who has reminded us to “go with the flow” when moments of stress, doubt, and fear arise. That person, that reminder, was physically manifested flow. Think of it as the universe calling you home for dinner. Let’s come back to peace, enjoying moments as they are, witnessing the magic of the universe in ebb and flow.
As manifestations of spirit and water, we deserve to flow, it is in our nature.
Time is tested every time we come to face the reality in front of us. Are we here, are we living elsewhere in our minds, what really is reality. Time frames are mind frames set in stone by habitual plays. We repeat the patterns without even noticing. To let go of old memories is good to notice the present moment but that’s no fun to never dwell on the past either. It’s nice to get lost in a daze within the mind.
It’s so beautiful this morning, too much gratitude to spew for being off and able to enjoy the sunshine streaming in through the window without having to worry about rushing out the door and missing all the beauty around me focusing in on the most unimportant task of my day. How is it that we get so entrapped within the cycles of “to-do” but it always seems like there’s something to do, except when it comes to paying attention to self.
Letting the fingers go away on the keyboard remind me of when I was learning piano, and one of my teachers would constantly remind me to keep my wrists up. Now typing freely on the computer feels reminiscent of soft keys under my touch dancing in the fluidity of the music of my own thoughts. Interesting how the fingers enjoy dancing around just as much as our own bodies. I guess the idea of freedom isn’t just a desire for the conscious brain but a hope for the soul itself. Freedom from the bondage of flesh is the expression of whatever motion comes through. To make sense is not to express, we just gotta let go sometimes and feel only what energy is moving us to what extent and for what reason.
Why try to run from getting the dirt out of our own mind. The brain and heart gets heavy and cluttered like an old attic, dusting is tedious but it’s so worthwhile every time it is completed. I miss doing soul charts, I’m going to do one today. Blending numerology and destiny is fun for me, I just feel like sound and math are the true birthing parents of this universe and numerology embodies the artistic form of math relative to the way sacred geometry puts me at ease. While the sound carries the vibrational definitions of the universe. Our names are just keys and maps to our painted picture back at the source. We just have to decode the sound of music our specific letters play in our realms and dimensions of experience.
I’ve been listening to more classical music lately, it’s funny how I write differently on a computer than in a notebook , the idea that this will still be read and the ego saying “this is irrelevant.” However, I know it is all a space to be free and explore and for that I am grateful and in turn will not judge myself. I love you all for being the best creative souls you can be and I am inspired to learn and grow with the rest of this beautiful planet. We are all one thought trying to reconnect the expanding holes of love on this world through these vessels, we will succeed.
And So It Is.

Normally I write these in my journals handwritten although sometimes it feels like a nice break and a new challenge to do the same thing on the computer. Feels like I’m being tested more on this medium being that I am more consciously aware of what I’m saying due to the fact that I am finding the letters on a keyboard to seek out the completion of a word. Anyway, I love this method of writing!!!
So for some reason, I got this feeling a couple weeks ago that I needed to research a possible spiritual purpose for hair. As some are aware, everything in the illusion of Earth is, not only alive, but also has a purpose to spiritually connect us to the ethers and our soul. In Western society we are taught the purpose of hair on the body is to protect voids (orifices) on the body and regulate subtle body heat and it is emphasized that the hair on our head is simply dead protein. However, the other week it dawned on me that it is must be impossible for a living being to produce anything that is “dead.” I personally have been using natural body care products for a few years now, specifically because what we use on our body ends up in our bloodstream, but I was convinced subconsciously there are more subtle reasons for participating in conscious care.
There are many people, spending lots of energy doing their hair daily for reasons of fashion, style, or individuality. Many of whom are losing the power held within their hair and diluting its representation of strength thanks to the material, consumerist matrix many still dwell within.
So, What is Hair Really?
In some Eastern traditions hair is recognized as the most potent form of protein in the world due to its high vitamin bio-availability for the brain, but in many native cultures it is accepted that hair is the antennae that connect us to pranic energy. Prana is the life force energy given to us by the sun and various elements of the universe and because of hair’s communication with the ether, the strength of hair’s electromagnetic power is constantly regenerated.
Hair is also considered by some to be an extension of our nervous system, transmitting information to areas such as the limbic system and the brain stem. Leg hair is relative to the electromagnetic field of the lower lumbar and pituitary gland, armpit hair is responsible for protecting the sympathetic nervous system, and beards on men protect overactivity of the lunar center.
Native peoples believe hair to be the physical manifestation of thoughts and as such, emphasize the importance of holding only pure and balanced ideas within to maintain the hair’s strength. In order to amplify the antennae and their power, native cultures all over use specific care techniques and have developed hairstyles that aid to collect and distribute prana through the hair and into the environment.
The Power Within the Style…
Hairstyles aren’t just another fashion statement as most people tend to use them. The placement, style, and care all matter heavily when it comes to energy and hair. Bet you didn’t know bangs weren’t such a great idea as they block light transmission through the third eye.
The Sikhs believe one should first comb hair with a wooden comb in all directions, as wood does not charge or discharge any electromagnetic energy within the hair. Wearing hair coverings protect the antennae from harsh weather changes and also activate pressure points on the head to receive clarity.
Monk’s Hair Released from Turban
Gurumustuk Singh stated “It is very positive for a woman to wear her hair tied on top of her head on the solar center in a rishi knot…men tie a rishi knot almost where the soft point was when he was a child.” The “soft spot” is recognized as the crown chakra and when hair is coiled or knotted at the solar centers, channeled spiritual vibrations are better retained and Kundalini energy is allowed to travel in opposition to the Pranic energy.
“Sattvik” Bun & Energy Collection“Woman with loose hair and a mad dog have no difference whatsoever as far as integrity is concerned”
The native Manataka American Indians compare their long locks to the Sweet Grass of Mother Earth, establishing their combing rites to include different brush/handle materials, symbols, or specific designs optimizing physical/spiritual outcomes during combing. Just as the sikhs hold styling traditions in coiling the hair, Native Americans have traditional braiding rites that sometimes include the addition of Sweet Grass to symbolize the serpents of wisdom. It is common for young men of tribes to place Sweet Grass in their braids for purification rites as well, using the braid as a way to unite their thoughts with Mother Earth. Because hair strands are individually weak, the “braids symbolize Oneness and Unity…when joined together in Oneness, physically demonstrate the strength of Oneness.”

Of course, hair antennae are not expected to be styled at all times, all cultures agree there are times when the hair should flow freely, it all depends upon how one wishes to demonstrate harmony with life or thoughts of Oneness towards others.
Truth Behind Cutting Hair
Due to the unique hollow structure of hair and its ability to store energy in the roots, hair antennae act as a mirror for the physical and mental health within the body and is therefore highly susceptible to negative vibrations. In Eastern and Native cultures haircuts were held at the same spiritual stature as styles and would only be cut during certain times.
The Manataka for example, trust they are Spirits that live forever and when someone passes, the hair is cut after 1 year of mourning to symbolize the new “life.” Otherwise most cultures agree one’s hair should be cut only when making major life changes, renouncing the past, or letting go of past misdeeds.
It is common in Western culture for people to cut their hair for personal preference, to maintain a “clean” look, especially for men. However, cutting hair is a much more spiritual act than taught to us by our Western society [government]. A government who knows firsthand, the real truth of haircuts.
Many slaves taken from heavily spiritual cultures, were forced to shave or cut their hair as it caused them to become more submissive. The most well-known culture who experienced such feats were the Native American tribes.
During the Vietnam war American troops went through Native lands searching for “talented scouts;” they were really looking for Native American men whom were known for their impeccable tracking and navigational skills. Once the troops found the men they wanted, they recruited them to base and once enlisted, the Americans discovered the Native’s sixth sense abilities seemed to have disappeared. “When questioned about their failure to perform…older recruits replied consistently that when they receive their required military haircuts…they couldn’t ‘read’ subtle signs as well or access subtle extrasensory information.” (United Truth Seekers)
There are, of course, some exceptions to spiritual haircuts like cutting during the moon phases for optimal health or religious/monk shavings. Though even some consider monks to be equally as empty a vessel as slaves, only difference being that monk’s carry with them a spiritual message.
Love Your “Roots”
When I was young I always had really long hair and throughout the 24 years of my life I’ve also had many cuts, styles, and bangs but I can honestly say I never really liked having my hair cut. I would cut it for personal style and for better management however, I have also noticed how much my hair has changed because of such spiritual manipulation.
Together we can help one another return to our spiritual connection with Mother Earth through these powerful vessels known to us as the human body. We are etheric beings first and must continue to care for ourselves and the world with that always in mind. Love the roots of your culture and love the roots sprouting from your crown chakra, for both are guides to super ceding this modern manipulation.
With new age artists from the east coast making their voices heard with a gritty anarchist style to their sound, a few out here on the west are taking a more peace and relax approach when sending out their message. Hip-Hop artist Jetpack Jones is one in particular whom embodies the soulful artistry of the music…we can thank Bob Marley and Sade for that.
Alongside amazingly aesthetic album artwork, completed by Eustace Mamba, and trippy video visuals, created by Jeremias Corona, Jetpack Jones has managed to put out over 8 mix-tapes since 2009 spreading knowledge of political propaganda, black history and culture, and promoting a lifestyle built on peace and soul.
What makes Jetpack more laid back than most artists is that every tape has been available for free upon release; some personal favorites being The 3rd Eye Initiative and Afterburners 4: Retro$pect. He has stated on a song included on the tape, Afterburners 3: The Brink, that it’s not the money that motivates him, he just wants to “…do it for the love.” Lucky for listeners that means no cliche bars and endless seconds of riding the beat, just great classic style hip-hop.
Consistency is the key to Jetpack Jones’s current success and with affiliations such as Mann, Tone Oliver, female artist P.O.P.E, and producer Brock Berrigan, the Jetpack Movement will continue to fly amongst the best of the new age.

For myself, getting introduced to music of a higher conscious all started with Ab-Soul’s album Control System in 2012. It is well recognized 2012 came with a lot of controversy with the likes of the mayan prophecy and a little internet takeover known as SOPA. At a time where most people were allowing themselves to be led blindly, Ab-Soul was trying to move the younger generation to take back their control and freedom from the governmental system. The album was filled with new age and political conversations; showcased in heavy hitter tracks such as Pineal Gland, Terrorists Threats, and Beautiful Death.
It is now 2015 and after a few features with other artists and his 2014 album These Days, Soulo has allowed a SoundCloud user to leak his most recent verse, “47 Bars” which was produced by the talented Alchemist. It would appear this new song has become Ab’s most controversial piece yet; not only due to his remark on twitter
I might get dropped from the label for this 1, but fuck it lol…
but also because of rhymes within the verse that imply shots taken at Young Thug, Cash Money, and the entire industry itself…
In a minute’s time, thoughts come and go/ As quickly as we brush past a shoulder unknown/ Without awareness, what happens is empty/ Create the desire and don’t be angry, be silly/ Loneliness in vulnerable hearts, imprinting upon the spirit/ Strong minds adapt/ They innately know how to clear it/ But with all that hope… where is the fear at?/
Hold on,
I can feel that it’s trying/ Collecting the souls as they’re dying/ Sorry Sam, but no uncle crying/
Most of us know New York for its artists in the mainstream light but what about its more local, conscious talent?
Take a dive back into great hip-hop as they “…ressurect the craft of the boom bap…”(AK_The Proclamation)
When it comes to elevating hip-hop’s roots and bringing back the New York groove, these two dudes exceed expectations. With such a unique visual and color style, Flatbush, New York’s The Underachievers, step up the video production roster on their latest video, Amorphous.
With thick roots in the christ conscious movement, the duo knows a few things about human connection and reached out with open arms to fellow starseeds for this one. It’s the best feeling for any fan of music when the video for the song matches the level of artistry in the song itself, but what’s better than getting the opportunity to be IN the video?! The “Lords of Flatbush” gave their fans that chance and with their wicked fast wordplay and esoteric puns, it’s no wonder why these guys are amongst the leaders of the Beast Coast movement.
CHECK OUT the young prophets and lucky fans below in the organic and dazing video!
